The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 166

Shen Ling entered her room in Kunning Palace,
Then close the window.

At this time, outside the window, an inconspicuous "rag" shook for a moment,
The parchment flew towards Gu Muyu's study.

It followed the yellow-clothed person who looked very similar to Gu Mu, and lost it.

Then Gu Mu sent it to monitor Shen Ling and report to him whenever there was a situation.

Because the sheepskin scroll is not a human being, and it can enter the hidden city to hide at any time, and it is small in size, so it followed Shen Ling all the way just now, and it was not discovered.

"Your Majesty, the slave saw that the empress returned to the prime minister's mansion..."

The parchment flew into Gu Muyu's study room, and told what he saw and heard just now.

"Do you still remember the address of the dungeon?"

Gu Mu asked.

He had known for a long time that a mere foot ban would not be able to lock Shen Ling at all.

He thought that when Shen Ling returned to the prime minister's mansion, she would report the news, or ask her brother to raise troops quickly, or run away immediately.

But he never expected that Shen Ling would imprison Shen Chao in the dungeon.

That's her brother!

The sheepskin roll followed the dungeon against the corner, and had a panoramic view of Shen Lingtong's torture.

At this moment, Gu Mu knew everything.

"So not only was he imprisoned in a dungeon, but torture was also used?" Gu Mu didn't know why, but at this moment he felt a little happy.

Originally, he thought that Shen Ling had a deep affection for her relatives.

Even if her brother made a mistake, if she executed her brother, Shen Ling would definitely hate him to the bone.

But Shen Ling was so ruthless that she tortured her brother...

This at least shows that Shen Ling is actually quite clear, knowing that her brother made a mistake, even if she has a little hatred for Gu Mu, it will never reach the point of deep hatred.

Gu Mu believes that as long as he handles it properly, it is still possible to settle down with Shen Ling.

The parchment scroll gave an address, which was where it followed Shen Ling and where Shen Chao was imprisoned.

"However..." the parchment scroll carefully recalled: "That place, even if you know the address, it's not so easy to enter."

"Because the surrounding area is full of poisonous insects and grass, every time you enter that place, you need to dig a hole with the earth-digging insect. Once you leave, the earth-digging insect will fill the hole again."

"And then there are almost all trees and grass in the same scenery, and there are no conspicuous landmarks."

"So even if I've been there once, the next time I go, I can only know the approximate location, and I can't pinpoint exactly where the hole is."

Gu Mu nodded, it was Shen Ling's style of acting.

Even if it is known, it will not be easy to find it next time, and even if it is found, there may not be a life to enter it.

Of course, it is even more difficult for the people inside to escape.

But don't rush,
Since Shen Ling doesn't hate him that deeply, Gu Mu will naturally kill him in a more secure way. Now that Shen Chao is imprisoned by Shen Ling, unless he has a way to escape, otherwise, it is unlikely that he will do anything else during this period of time. move.

Then Gu Mu has many opportunities to collect evidence of Shen Chao's treason.

But to be more on the safe side, Gu Mu showed a smile: "Since you lost that person before, then you and Shen Chao should reach a deal, right?"

Although Shen Chao was imprisoned by Shen Ling,
However, Gu Mu can rest assured only if he is completely in control of himself.

Moreover, Gu Mu believed that the person who was followed by the parchment before was actually the same person as Shen Chao.

The sheepskin roll nodded like a dog: "Of course...Of course..."

At this time, the face of the sheepskin roll was a little excited.

But because of its unique face, Gu Mu couldn't see the excitement of the sheepskin roll.

Because Shen Chao...

He is a person who meets the trading conditions!

As long as Shen Chao finds the sacrifice, offers it to the parchment, and completes the transaction,
Then, the sheepskin scroll can improve your strength again,
You know, until now, after such a long time, the sheepskin roll has only eaten little green tea alone.

It really can't wait to eat human flesh and blood.

Right now,

Shen Ling has already slept in Kunning Palace,
But she kept her eyes open and never felt sleepy.

"Conspiracy...conspiracy..." Shen Ling whispered this sentence in his mouth.

"Conspiracy is a crime against the Nine Clans..."

"You can't rely on His Majesty's kindness, I have to protect other innocent family members..."

"I don't want to completely hate His Majesty because His Majesty punished the nine clans of the courtiers and concubines and killed other innocent family members of the courtiers and concubines, just like in the previous life..."

"Your Majesty is different from that person in the previous life..."

"So, in this life...it must not be like this...Shen Chao, it must not be treason!"

Shen Ling's eyes gradually cleared up.

She wanted to eliminate the evidence of Shen Chao's treason.

Shen Chao can live a life that would be worse than death, but there should be no suspicion between her and His Majesty, just like she can't bear His Majesty accepting concubines, otherwise she would rather become a monk.

……

From the Ministry of War Minister's family, what was found in the search was a bit of a surprise.

Because the incident happened suddenly, that person forced the Minister of the Ministry of War to commit suicide, but it was too late to destroy all the traces of their past relationship.

The dead soldiers searched out some...precious treasures, calligraphy and paintings from the Minister of War's home.

Eunuch Cheng explained from the side: "This calligraphy and painting was dedicated by a businessman to the Governor of Fengtian Mansion, but now it was found from the study of the Minister of the Ministry of War."

"As for this glazed pot, the slave once saw it at the home of Lord Ma Hou..."

Eunuch Cheng introduced them one by one.

He has always been careful, and coupled with the intelligence network all over the Southern Dynasty, Eunuch Cheng can speak clearly about each dead thing.

Although no letter was found in the home of the Minister of War,

But these items, after a little questioning, I am afraid that many surprises can also be found.

"Follow these items and conduct a thorough investigation." Gu Mu said coldly.

The relationship between the officials of the imperial court is complicated. After this investigation, it is possible that half of the officials of the imperial court are not so innocent.

But when it was found out, firstly, it would give those officials a wake-up call, and secondly, Gu Mu could have an idea in his heart.

"The slave obeys!"

Gu Mu frowned as he watched Eunuch Cheng retreat.

Although the clues revealed from these items, other officials who had contacts with the Minister of the Ministry of War were discovered.

but,

There was no evidence related to Shen Chao.

Although Gu Mu could directly execute Shen Chao, but he wanted Shen Chao to die justifiably, and it was a matter of course, so that the prime minister's family would be grateful to him.

Shen Chao must die for treason.

As many officials were found to be involved with the Minister of War, for a while, all the officials in the capital and outside the capital were panicked.

until one night,

Information about Lu Xiaoyao's life experience was sent to Gu Mu.
